Not music, but I've been addicted to Pod Save America twice a week these days.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Soundtrack cd… I usually hate musicals but this soundtrack for whatever reason is great….I need to get the LP but its pretty hard to come by…


i particularly like the "I've got a golden ticket…" and also "The candyman can….."

4 3's in a row.. you don't see that every day…

could it be signed? a quick almost unwilling signature in ballpoint? impossible to tell.. i think I see a J.. a Y… an S an m and then a line i need to get out of here as quick as I can..

unfortunately musicians had many different signatures over the years and depending on situation and desire to sign

a possibility would be this record belonged to "Franklin" and he got "Jimmy Smith" to sign it… if you were going to sign that would be the place to do it even though its right by Wes.

anyways always a fabulous listen.. and boy this record must have sold a ton cause i have quite a few copies…

People are still having sex- Latour 12"


probably hadn't heard it in 20 years!

crazy line "This AIDS thing's not working.. People are still having sex…"

i may never have heard that line til today  because radio edit was "This safe thing's not working"

coltrane- africa/brass (80s reissue LP.. i think i have the original somewhere in the basement but its probably banged up)


i never listen to this one but its really good…..coltrane had so many great sessions for impulse that it beggars belief…

REO Speedwagon debut album from 1971 recorded 1970 and probably early 1971 .. no Kevin Cronin on this one…..interesting..they started out as a generic blues rock midwest band…no sign of the power ballads that made their name… their most important contribution may have been their manager Irving Azoff who went on to greater fame as manager for the Eagles and then kept climbing the corporate music ladder until he got to the top…although I do not know all the particulars about Azoff.. maybe he started out managing Fogelberg? anyways by the last decade he was considered the most important person in the music industry.. I guess he had a lot to do with both Ticketmaster, Live Nation and their horrible merger…by all accounts - and one came to me first hand- he is a first class prick
anyways REO Speedwagon..
the album is pretty boring blues rock but it was their first… still .. some nice stinging guitar leads..at least it tries to rock out… always a plus! .but the furthest thing imaginable from the type of music they had such huge hits with in the late 70s / early 80s like Cant fight this feeling..

I also have their second album by which point Cronin had joined the band and they even did a CHuck Berry cover on it! All rock used to come from there..

I saw REO at the jack fest where they were easily the least interesting band to me on the bill.. they could not compete with the pretenders, zz top, straycats… but by that point rickrath who originally was their big songwriting talent was long gone  (and its telling that when he left / was pushed out they never again had a hit!).. rickrath died a few years ago… i think alcoholism… cronin continues to take REO on the road…

by all accounts REO's first album sold ok in the midwest but that was about it…

Marvin Gaye- Trouble Man


the more I listen to it the more I like it… .some of the musicianship on it is real sweet… the drumming on T Plays it Cool for example…
